Our verdict
Who it's for
Legal software for law firms to manage cases, billing, and client communication efficiently.
Who should look elsewhere
Trust accounting is missing from the entry-level Solo plan and the full trust plus operating accounting suite is locked behind the most expensive Business Pro tier, so firms that hold client funds are pushed to a pricier plan.

- +Excellent customer support
- +Continuously rolling out new features

- −Trust accounting is missing from the entry-level Solo plan and the full trust plus operating accounting suite is locked behind the most expensive Business Pro tier, so firms that hold client funds are pushed to a pricier plan.
- −Reporting and analytics offer limited customization and shallow firm-performance insight, and attorneys specifically flag that tracking payouts for multiple lawyers compensated on production or collection is handled poorly.
- −Customer support draws recurring complaints about slow response times and staff turnover, with billing disputes and subscription cancellations often requiring persistent follow-up to resolve.
- −The mobile app is noticeably stripped down compared to the desktop version, limiting task management and feature access when working away from the office.
